Jalon's Christmas

On Christmas morning my dear husband suffered a mild concussion due in part to a blizzard, big snow drifts, extreme cold and wind, and an open van trunk in the parking lot! I will let him tell you the rest of the details as the only thing he ever says about it all is " first time I get knocked out and it's by a car door, NOT a cool story to tell!" That being said, I was super excited because I was going to give him THIS later! Yep i bought him a HARLEY for Christmas! Any of you that know Jalon know that he has wanted one of these for the last twenty years or so! He has all of the jackets, t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and anything else Harley makes but no bike to go with the apparel! He was planning on getting one FINALLY this spring, so I just got it for him a little earlier than he expected!

Only problem was that after the concussion he was just not as excited as he was a couple of days later! He was REALLY mellow and said "wow. what did you do? what is this? wow." it was all monotone and not very exciting! I was the one on the video yelling and all excited ...not him! It is a HARLEY!! This is the reaction I was thinking I would get... www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFlcqWQVVuU

The bike itself is a 2010 Harley Davidson Fat Bob 1600 V-Twin. Impressive huh? I picked it out by myself... I had an idea of what he wanted, but was hoping that after all these years of sorta listening when he talks about it, I got it right. I picked out the color, which he loved, Black Denim, ...which in my terms is a flat black and not the shiny ones you see all the time. I got some help on the delivery and pick up from Jalon's good buddy Tyler, which was the hardest part I might add! So Christmas morning there was a white trailer on the street by our house, and a box under the tree with Jalon's name on it and a key to the trailer in it! He opened it, looked at me with a very blank look on his face, and then reluctantly followed me outside into the blizzard to look in the trailer. That was where I was screaming and he was saying "wow." Anyway, as it slowly sets in that he owns a Harley finally, he is a lot more excited and says that we can re-do the video :) Oh and he is already picking out new pipes so that when he leaves this summer on it I know cause the windows rattle... that's the goal anyway is what I am told! Think you can take back really big Christmas presents?!
